Why Cant I See My House?
I have seen this question probably more than any other question on forums related to Google Earth, mostly from people in other countries than the US. So Im going to explain it here in case this was your question as well.
Google Earth has only been in existence since 2005. They have gotten satellite imagery from many different sources and work to always gather more data to stitch into the existing imagery. It is an ongoing project and as of this writing you can search any city or country of earth and it will show up in Google Earth. But for maps, street level views and driving directions the countries included are:
US, UK, Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, and Spain.
This list will most certainly be added to over time, and if you want to find out the latest news and updates to Google Earth, you can subscribe to their monthly newsletter. It’s called “Sightseer”.

Hope this helps.
